The Eyes Of Wisdom

In the time or
in and out of the space or
elsewhere I wander
ed,
I clasp myself alone,
but no perception of bliss of joy.

Many rebirths I conceded
Many samsara* I roamed
I clasp myself alone,
but no perception of bliss of joy.

In the day or the light
In the night or the gloom
In and out of the universe
I explored seriously
everywhere in the earth
but no perception of bliss of joy.

Can I retrieve it elsewhere?

While it’s as the brightest
as the gleaming star
in the chaste gloominess
inside the spirit of my own mind.

Attha devo bhava**

The luminosity lies indeed
in me and mine
Illuminating for ever all the world.
My body, speech and mind
Attain the mindfulness of Nibbana***
Within me and mine.


* Samsara – the material world in which the beings live.
** Attha devo bhava (pali) – I’m the lamp of my own.
*** Nibbana (pali) or Nirvana (Sanskrit) - The literal meaning of "blowing out" or "quenching". Nirvana is the ultimate
spiritual goal in Buddhism and marks the soteriological release from rebirths in saṃsāra.
